A criminal who broke into a person’s home, hung her cleaning, rearranged her things, and also cooked himself a food has been sentenced to 22 months in prison. Julian Wojnilowicz, a 36-year-old, carried out the strange crime on 16 July in Monmouthshire, Wales, which left the sufferer traumatised and too scared to be in her house, reported BBC.
The prosecutor was informed of Wojnilowicz’s entry into the house while the girl was at work. Upon returning home, she found her home in an unexpected position: products in the courtyard had been moved, the recycling bin emptied, and her cleansing hung on the line. Outside, the cupboards had been rearranged, meal was missing, and the house had been tidied, with dishes replaced.
An empty bottle of wine was discovered carefully placed on the wine rack after the victim’s home had prepared a meal using ingredients from the murderer’s home. Strangely, a note was left behind, saying:” Do n’t worry, be happy, eat up and scratch”.
The assailant’s actions extended beyond easy fraud. He also refilled the victim’s bird feeders and replaced her toothbrush heads. The woman, in her victim impact statement, explained that the experience had left her feeling” to scared to stay in her personal apartment” and she had moved in with a friend periodically.
She also expressed her concern that she might not know the criminal was a person she knew, or, worse, that it might turn into a stalking event. She experienced increased anxiety and feeling uncomfortable in her own house for two weeks following the burglary.
” I wondered if it was someone who knew me, if it was going to turn into a stalking event, if he knew I lived alone and if I had been targeted”, she added.
Wojnilowicz struck suddenly just two weeks later, on 29 July, at another home in Newport. In this situation, the male buyer was alerted by a CCTV camera showing Wojnilowicz entering his road.
The hacker took a bath in the bungalow, washed and dried his garments, and consumed food and drink. The sufferer, watching the crime unfold with security cameras, alerted his son-in-law, who confronted Wojnilowicz. Although he appeared intoxicated, holding a glass of wine, he left the property when asked, but was eventually arrested. His DNA linked him to both break-ins.
In prosecutor, Wojnilowicz, who was unemployed at the time, expressed remorse for his actions. His military lawyer, Tabitha Walker, explained that he was undergoing a hard time in his career.
However, the prosecutor, Recorder Christian Jowett, emphasised the significant impact his behavior had on the survivors, describing the situations as a” major intrusion into their houses” and sentencing him to 22 months in prison.
